Fixed my Hotair issues :)

So my tank is located in my basement.. in a semi finished room :) and i was fine with the old 30g.. but now this 100g.. just heats the place up way too much..

So i installed this.. Its a 70 CFM ( in know its low.. but i have no cash and it was all i could afford ) Bathroom fan.. and i have it connected to a Extention cord ( heavy duty Tool replacement cord) and its plugged into the Powerbar that has all the lights on it plugged into the timmer.. So that it will only come on during the day sucking the hot air out and its plumbed ( not sure the terminiology ) right into my Drier vent.. the hole is in the wall about 5 feet from where i installed the vent!..

Amazing.. after about 20 mins of running my Basement started to feel cooler! :)

Now becouse of the cost it is one of the louder units.. it was only $25 bucks.. and it runs at it says 5.5 sans??? not sure.. but the more expesnive ones ... Ones that run around $150 where as low as like .5 Sans.. but its not too bad!

Here are some pictures!

Its working great for me.. its broght my temp in my basement down 4 degrees.. and so far my tank is down 1 degree.. its working well!

That's the very same unit i use - makes a big difference to temp and humidity levels.

I've been thinking of doing this for humidity aleviation. I don't think I want to punch another hole through the exterior wall though. I wonder how long I can make the hose coming off of these bathroom fans. I could just tie it in to my Dryer vent in the basement like Mike.

They can go for ever... lol Just pick up a larger one.. somthing with around 150 CFMs.. and you should be fine.
